When is the best time to boost players?

It depends how old they are.

When they really need it man come on im sick.

Peewee players

never, unless they're your free player slot

or whenever your training allows you to soft cap something important

peewees are disposable, so do whatever

if it were me, i'd at least wait and see how good the team is before boosting.... like would you at least get a trophy/ring out of it?

When their owners back is turned. Apparently.

Season 0
Always boost on day 48 - 1.000 to 4.000
► No other option

Season 1
Always boost on day 48 - 15.600 to 18.600
► No other option => No XP loss since daily XP is the same and there is no game XP for playoffs

Season 2
Wait to boost until level- 22.0 to 25.0
End up at Lvl 32.000 / VXP 7.800
► No other option => XP gains do not change again until level 32 and you can't reach level 32 in second season

Season 3
Boost Early (day 0) - End up at Lvl 42.625 / VXP 20.275
Playoff Boost (day 32) - End up at Lvl 42.800 / VXP 19.350
Boost Late (day 48) - End up at Lvl 43.000 / VXP 19.150

this is really bad information

since all players hit level 79 anyway, making boosting decisions based on XP do not matter until season 8, when you want to use the VPB to determine whether it is best to boost before or after you hit level 69 to give yourself left over XP for trade-in

boosting at the end of season one should be when you can reach the next cap before it gets trained over - no need to try to wait until day 48

same with 22 to 25 - sometimes boosting at level 20 or 21 makes more sense to hit caps before training rolls over

I believe this is a FP question more than a lvl question.

I'll be sure to pass that info along to the original author.

Thanks for this.

Season 0
Don't boost
► Not boosting at this point will yield huge training gains which will lead to long-term build advantages in exchange for hitting levels 25/30/35/40 slightly slower resulting in giving up a few VA points for the extra training/better long-term build

Season 1
Always boost on day 48
► Goal is to maximize training / long-term build

Season 2
Wait to boost until you are level 21 and a game later that day or rollover that night will take the dot to lvl 25.0 after boosting and the experience points from the game or rollover
► Goal is to maximize training / long-term build until you can start maximizing VXP (which starts at lvl 25) then maximize VXP

Season 3
Use a similar strategy to Season 2. VXP starts at lvl 25 then increases at levels 30, 35 and 40. You want to boost as soon as you do so and benefit your VXP but also no sooner than that in order to maximize training / long-term build as a secondary goal
► Goal is the same as Season 2's goal.

Season 4
Always boost on day 48 (unless for some reason you are still below level 40, in which case you want to maximize VXP first)
► Once you hit level 40 there is no more VXP bonus from boosting so boost late to maximize training / long-term build

Season 5
Always boost on day 48
► Same goal as season 4

Season 6
Always boost on day 48
► Same goal as seasons 4 & 5

Season 7
Always boost on day 48
► Same goal as before

Season 8
Always boost as late as possible while also maximizing your left-over XP for trade-in

Season 9+
Always boost as late as possible

This is a good rule of thumb for novice builders to maximize long-term builds. As you get more experience as a builder, you will in some cases get to situations where you would like to spend some build points to supplement training and will want to boost earlier than what it says here to get some extra build points to do that training supplement.
